31 - A Halloween Card

I have made the last of my Halloween cards before starting on Christmas!  I think this card (that I made for my sister in New York) turned out really well!.  I love the contrast between the orange in the numbers and the silver glossy in the background.  I love the clean lines and simple elegance of the card.

I used  Tim Holtz embossing folder.

Close Up!

I covered the chipboard numbers in white gesso and then painted them orange with acrylic paint.  I covered them with distress stickles glitter glue and let them dry.  The larger sized glitter really makes this!

I used some acrylic gems to accent the top design.  The colors are blue, green and a purple one.

I hope you try today's card!
Thanks for stopping by and come back soon as I will be showing the rest of my Halloween cards this week.

Thanks,Lis

Bling Witch

Hi everyone!

Well, it's almost Halloween!  My sister loves this holiday and I can't blame her. It's full of fun and lots of candy to be had!

Today's card uses a Tim Holtz die that is a wonderful witch on a broom.

I die cut the witch from chipboard and painted it with white gesso and then purple acrylic paint.  The witch was VERY purple and I wanted to do something to make her more interesting.  (Im not sure I accomplished this!)  I added some bling to the center of the witch - after all it's magic!  And I added so glitter glue and a black hat.

I embossed the background with an embossing folder on gold glossy.

 Close Up!
I roginially painted the entire witch purple but I wanted to accent it with another color (too much purple....LOL) so I painted the hat black.  I think it turned out pretty good.

I like the way the distress stickles glitter looks over the background purple of the broom.

I hope you enjoyed today's card.  Come back again for more inspiration!
